Wasn't Looking for Candles.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-COngress-
man-elect Martin, Of Texas, whose eX-
istence was so nearly terminated by es-
Gaping gas on his first night in Wash
ington, has moved away from the Will
lard. He raises point of veracity with
the hotel people. They say he blew out
the gas. He claims that when he turned
the key of the gas jet it. went around
too far, and after cutting off the light
let on the gas again. The judge does
not like to have his friends in Texas
think he was so green as to blow out
the gas, and so pronounces utterly I'M
true the story that he left the hotel in
order to find place where they used
candles

Another Fight in Prospect.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-The Chicago C
Alton Railway company to-day sent a
most important notice to the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroad company.
The communication created great ex-
element among the managers of the
roads west of Chicago. 1t was to the
effect that if the Burlington put in its
proposed new tariff reducing rates to
Illinois points, the Chicago & Alton
would at once reduce all rates-lOcal,
intermediate and through up to
Kansas City and the Missouri river 33311s
per cent. Such step would cut down
railroad earnings west of Chicago mill
ions of dollars. The Burlington is forced
to make the lower rates on account of
the Wabash putting in reduced rates
from Toledo and other Eastern points,
and must apparently either adopt its
new tariffs or go out of business. It'll has
consented to postpone action unsil Dec.
20. All of the railway officials unite i'll
saying that the situation is serious in
the extreme, and that unless some COM
promise is effected chaos will enSue.

Senator Turpis viii be Seated.

Many of the Republican journals have
been felicitating themselves that the next
Senate will be composed of at least
thirty-nine Republican members, who
will have the power, whether they exer-
else it or not, to prevent the seating of
Senator Turpie, of Indiana. The New
York Tribune has had more than one
editorial on the subject plainly suggest
ing that it will be the duty Of the Re.
publican majority to exclude Senator
Turpie, who it claims was elected by
fraud.
What is surprising is that it has never
occurred to the Tribune and others, that
when the next Senate meets there will
be just fifty members holding over
qualified to take their seats. OF these
25 are Democrats and 25 Republicans.
In addition to these there will be twenty
six Senators asking to be sworn, Of whom
IL will be Democrats and IA Republi-
cans. Among those asking to be sworn
will be Senator Turpie.
1t is easy enough to see that If the %
Democra 8 surrender at the outset to the
rs Republicans Senator Turpie, as well
as the Democratic Senator to be elected
from New Jersey, may be kept out in.
definitely. But what if the Democrats
shall say that the new Senators shall be
sworn all at once or two at time one
Republican and one Democrat? The
Republicans may decline to make such
an arrangement, but whether they shall
do so or not, it is certain that having
just as many Senators already sworn al
the Democrats, and no more, they will
be powerless to take any step without
the agreement of the Democrats. The
Republicans may keep Senator Turpis
from taking his seat just as they may
keep Hearst, Gray, George, Cockrell
Bate and others from taking their seats
but the Democrats may also keep Haw
ley, Hale, Dawes, Sherman, Edmundl
and others from taking their seats
Not until after the swearing in pro

entirely competent for the Democrats tt
agree with the Republicans in advance
that the equality with which they star
shall not be destroyed until all tn,

historic interest, but its publication just
now will facilitate the making of proofs

Educational Progress Old Grooves
and New Methods.

HOLLY SPRINGS, MISS, Feb "a, 'S7.
Progressive as this age is showing itself,
perhaps in no direction does the observer
perceive wider and higher reaching out
beyond old barriers, than in the education
OF its youth. Except in the case of some
individual educator, who, putting his heart
into his work, originated plans for his
own use, but did not formulate his theories
and embody them for the public benefit,
the work Of "teaching the young idea" had
gone in old grooves for many years. Then
came Froebel and Pestallozzi with the color
and form charts, the books without words,
and the alphabet of ingenious contrivances
for laying the foundations Of knowledge,
and routed from the field the horn-book
and ferule. Spencer, too, came with his
theories, and practical men and women,
and scientific men and women, set their
wise heads and busy hands to work, and
so, from the dust and ashes Of the old, has
beautiful new system been evolved.
With enlarged ideas have come increased
facilities, higher standard, and greater
enthusiasm.
To one feature OF the new departure has
my attention been strongly attracted re-
